Injuries to the brachial plexus
Surgery (Oxford), 2006Abstract A synopsis of the assessment and treatment of injuries to the brachial plexus is given. There are two principal types of injury to the brachial plexus: one is due to violent trauma in the adult and the other is sustained during birth. Diagnosis is by anatomical knowledge plus imaging and laboratory investigations.

INFRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1965 Over a period of twenty years a small number of patients, thirty-one, have been seen who suffered injuries of the infraclavicular brachial plexus as a direct result of skeletal injury in the region of the shoulder joint. Except for isolated circumflex nerve injuries the prognosis is generally good whatever part of the plexus is damaged. The treatment

Trauma to the brachial plexus may have unfortunate physical, psychological, and social effects. Because this nerve network provides motor and sensory innervation to the arm and hand, an injury may result in functional impairment with concomitant loss in confidence and self-image.

Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
Clinics in Perinatology, 2004Birth injuries of the brachial plexus are fairly common, but the majority of affected newborns make quick recoveries without any specific intervention. A minority suffer more severe injuries that lead to varying degrees of life-long disability. Happily, modern microsurgical techniques permit reconstruction of certain plexus injuries and, in carefully ...

Abstract The brachial plexus is a collection of peripheral nerves, the complexity of which dictates slow, unpredictable and sometimes confused recovery after injury; surgical repair should therefore form part of an integrated overall plan for repair of the limb.

The treatment of brachial plexus injuries
International Orthopaedics, 1985The author describes 1068 patients with brachial plexus lesions who were referred to him during a period of 18 years. Seventy two percent of the injuries were caused by road traffic accidents. Traction or crush injuries were the usual type encountered. They may occur at five levels above, behind and below the clavicle.

Brachial plexus injury during central venous catheter insertion is uncommon. Understanding the anatomy and the relationship between the brachial plexus and the neck veins and arteries is highly important. The brachial plexus, stellate ganglion, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal and phrenic nerves are all closely associated with the internal jugular vein ...

Avulsion injury of the brachial plexus
The American Journal of Surgery, 1968Abstract Two cases of complete avulsion of the roots of the brachial plexus are presented. Both patients also had severe additional injuries. Myelography demonstrated the avulsion in the second case. In both, the useless arm was amputated at the mid-humerus level.

Ultrasound imaging of brachial plexus trauma in gunshot injury
Muscle and Nerve, 2019Brachial plexus trauma related to gunshot (GS) injury requires early examination and characterization to ensure appropriate treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be contraindicated when there are metal fragments in a patient's body. Ultrasound (
